By , Reporter
A report suggests that linebacker Brooks Reed has signed a five-year deal with the Atlanta Falcons worth up to £14.6m.

The Atlanta Falcons have reportedly struck a five-year deal with linebacker Brooks Reed.

The 28-year-old was allowed to leave the Houston Texans at the end of the 2014 season after four years at the club, despite being a regular starter for Bill O'Brien's men.

The Falcons moved to sign the linebacker to a lucrative contract worth up to $22m (£14.6m) which will keep him at the NFC South outfit until the end of the 2019 season, reports NFL Network.

Reed recorded 169 tackles, 14.5 sacks and one interception in his four years with the Texans.
